Brighton signed Chelsea talent Levi Colwill in the summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal when Graham Potter was in charge of the Seagulls.
Potter has now been appointed as the Blues' new Head coach after signing a five-year deal to replace Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge. The decision to sack Tuchel came after tensions grew between the manager and Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly, with a defeat to Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night sealing the German's fate.
The west London outfit spent more money than another other Premier League club in the summer and now Potter has a big task on his hand to chase down Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. Colwill, who helped Huddersfield reach the Sky Bet Championship play-offs last season and is considered one of the brightest talents at Chelsea, was loaned out following the arrivals of Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly at Stamford Bridge.
